School Profile

The British School of Paris is a non-selective co-educational school which provides British education of a high quality to an international student clientele. Founded in 1954 as a centre of holistic education for a British ex-pat community, it has developed over the years into a truly international School in Paris, France with students of over 50 nationalities on roll.

Following the fine traditions of independent schools in the UK, the BSP has adopted a philosophy of education which unlocks the potential of all students by identifying strengths and supporting areas of development, while having fun and enjoying strong relationships. The British School of Paris’ academic programme is largely based on the English National Curriculum adapted to the special circumstances of the international clientele. The School embraces the challenges of modern education and provides for a high degree of flexibility within its well-balanced curriculum.

The BSP is a high achieving school in the context of British and international fee-paying education, with tailored provision for educational support for children who experience learning difficulties. It is in the culture of the school for all children to aim high.

32% of pupils in HMC schools across the UK received help with their fees in 2015/16 totalling £442 million in assistance....that's over £1.2m per day. £212 million of this was in the form of means-tested bursaries.

79% of HMC schools in the UK and Ireland are co-educational, 13% are boys' only and 8% are girls' only schools. 60% offer boarding in some form.

Pupils in HMC schools play on average between 5 and 6 hours of sports and games a week in over 40 different sports - double the amount played by pupils in state schools. 36 of the medals won by Team GB at Rio 2016 were by athletes educated at HMC schools.
